I am trying to make a directory accessible to users and I am missing what I need to do to make the group have permissions. I have a dir called "unv" I set the permissions using Chmod on it to give the owner and Group all permissions. Problem is that when a user of this group creates a folder they can erase it, but all other members are not able to write to it. How do I get permissions to set the group as "wrx" when new items are copied into this directory or when new items are created?

I don't know exactly what your problem is , but here is what I suggest. Create the directory with ownership root , group unv Chmod the unv directory to 770. Then only root can remove the directory and anyone in the unv group can write and read to it. Use yast, system administration, group administration to create a unv group and add members to it. Midnight Commander has a real nice visual box for chown and chmod. It has little boxes to check to set permissions and ownership. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
